Space Travellers By Fred Augis

Charlie: “That ain’t very fun, is it?”

John: “That ain’t very smart.”

It’s Apollo 16′s 48th anniversary so here’s a gifset of Charlie Duke tripping, falling, dropping things and generally being clumsy on the surface of the Moon

It's genuinely possible that Starship HLS might not be ready before Blue Moon MK 2 is.

Basically, there's an alternate universe in which Kathy's selection was blocked, and Blue Origin ended up being the primary contractor, with maybe SpaceX being a secondary contractor for later heavy cargo missions.

I spotted something out the window

I came up for the idea for this one while looking out of my airplane window. In the last two years, I’ve travelled a lot, and I have a love/hate relationship with it. I don’t like the feeling of being away from home, and feeling slightly lost. But I love the feeling of having nothing to do but letting my mind wander, and thinking about places I’ve never been before. This piece is inspired by that mellow feeling ~

This reminds me of some NASA Mars lander concepts. Maybe it’s coz I see the Worm logo on the side of a lander.

This was NASAs human lander for the 1990s proposed First Lunar Outpost missions to the Moon that never made it to the Moon. Unlike Apollo missions which used Lunar orbit rendezvous it was to use direct descent and ascent with the astronauts riding in an Apollo style capsule to and from the Moon’s surface. The unmanned version carried the outpost that could support a crew of four for up to 45 days.

The circumference of the moon’s orbit is 2,412,743km :/

Yeah! Even for that diameter you suck !
